    Apple’s market share is in the low teens for smartphones. “Monopoly”? Hardly. 
    They’re at 49% in the US, in Europe and some other developed areas. The investigation is about their market dominance in the US and not in East Mongolia.

    And they asked for 50% off their rent in the UK during the corona crisis. Nice.

    Very risky for him to plainly state this in the press. China could simply seize their operations still in China.
    He has many years dealing with Chinese government. He knows Chinese government much better than you being brain washed by western propaganda  war against Chinese government. 
    To be fair, you don't have to "know the Chinese government" to see what it does in the world; and then extrapolate from that. Like how the CCP right now is attacking anything that inconveniences them in Hong Kong (especially media); and how they've kidnapped foreign citizens from other countries (Gui Minhai; Swedish citizen, kidnapped from Thailand). 光復香港，時代革命.

    Like how we gas peaceful protestors, send Gestapo troops into Democratic cities, ripping kids from their parents & sticking them in cages?  That kind of "attacking"?   Or, our CIA's secret renditions or Meng kidnapped on her way into another country?  That kind of kidnapping?   Oh wait!  Never mind.  I forgot you're a China hater.   Your leader needs to distract you from what is going on in your own country.
    Nah, more like China‘s sticking over a million Uigurs into concentration camps and systematically murdering them. Or invading Tibet, killing half the population and then start settling millions of mainland Chinese there. Or ignoring treaties they signed, integrating Hong Kong into their communist dictatorship, killing anyone who opposes them. 

    I get where you‘re coming from - things are really crappy in the US right now but compared to China, the US is a peaceful, provincial place. 

    You‘ll change your mind once China has occupied Taiwan, uses its military stationed in South American countries to cause trouble in that region, has occupied the islands surrounding Japan, has started an all-out war with India etc. Right now, they‘re quietly and efficiently putting themselves into the strategic position to attack anywhere on the planet.

    Yeh, IF you believe the right wing propaganda....

    And, China doesn't have to "occupy" Taiwan.   It's already theirs.  All they have to do is take it back.  It's a matter of when, not if.    It's only the Trumpers who have forgotten that.
    As for the rest of your last paragraph.   See my first paragraph.
    So Tibet is right-wing propaganda? And Hong Kong as well? And no: Taiwan is NOT China. Not sure why you’re saying stuff like that. 

    Why do I say Taiwan is part of China?   Because the entire world -- except for the crazy, deluded Trumpers -- says it!
    Literally nobody says it and I’m a social democrat in Europe.
